The College of Education and Allied Professions in partnership with the Division of
Educational Outreach invites you to register for the Summer 2021 Equity in Education
Certificate. Drs. Darrius Stanley and Jess Weiler, who are faculty in the WCU Educational
Leadership program(s) and experts in the area of educational leadership for social
justice, are the co-directors of the program.
Using online modules, live discussions, and engagement with field experts, this program
will build the capacities of regional educators (aspiring and practicing), school
and district based personnel, educational preparation professionals, school, district
and community-based leaders to lead equity systems change. Specifically, this certificate
will help educators: 1) develop their lenses to recognize injustice through historical
analyses and identity development, 2) devise leadership strategies to improve the
experiences of marginalized youth and families, and 3) construct a plan to implement
and sustain systemic reform for equity. Students will receive a certificate and continuing
education credit upon successful completion of the program.
